Biography | Lisa Su — 2485 Augustine Drive, the Day AMD Changed the Title

People treat Austin as the city an AMD chief now occupies. The office the title attached to in 2014 was this one. She joined AMD in January 2012 as senior vice president and general manager of global business units, helped put AMD silicon into the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and became chief operating officer in July 2014. On 8 October 2014 the board named her president and chief executive, succeeding Rory Read. She was the first woman to hold the job. AMD's headquarters stand at 2485 Augustine Drive in Santa Clara. She lives in Austin. The product line that followed — Ryzen, EPYC, then Instinct accelerators — was run from both ends of that commute. The pin is the Santa Clara campus because that is the legal seat. Mentors had called the appointment a risk. The company had been losing money. The title changed here.
